“Can you try to make time to come back this weekend, sweetie?”
Lucinda hesitated.
Atticus, sensing her hesitation, grew concerned that she might decline his request. He then added earnestly, “I’m not as strong as I used to be, honey. I want to step back and relieve myself of these burdens. There will always be someone to carry on the legacy of the Simmons Group. I hope you can find the time to come back this weekend and sign the inheritance agreement, alright?”
She remained quiet for a while.
Ever since her return to Stastle, her father had persistently urged her to join the Simmons Group. He wanted her to become familiar with the business, grooming her to eventually take control.
Lucinda had vehemently expressed her disinterest before. She had been determined to expand Angle Intl’s ventures into Stastle, aiming to break free from her family’s influence and carve out her own reputation.
But this time…
Recalling the plan she had discussed with Nathan the night before, she didn’t decline.

“Alright, Dad. I’ll come home this weekend.”
Atticus was stunned by her unexpected agreement. He remained in a daze for a moment.
Then joy overwhelmed him.
“Fantastic! I’ll be eagerly awaiting your arrival this weekend!”
After a brief chat, he reminded her to take care of herself and watch her diet before ending the call.
In the afternoon, Lucinda was engrossed in signing a contract with Zakai.
Nathan had arrived early and patiently waited in her office, Lounging on the sofa and perusing the books on the shelf.
The contract signing held great importance, with Zakai bringing legal experts from Eurfrica to meticulously review every detail. It was only after ensuring that there were no issues that they finally put their signatures on the document.
The entire process consumed over two hours of their time.
As Lucinda returned to her office to get her bag, she noticed Nathan peacefully dozing off on her sofa.
She approached quietly, delicately removed the book from his hand, and settled down beside him, admiring his sleeping face.
Seeing him in such a tranquil state, mischievous thoughts stirred within her.
She stretched out her fair fingers, aiming to teasingly pinch his nose and rouse him.
But as her hand drew closer, she couldn’t bring herself to follow through.
Ultimately, she leaned in and placed a tender, sweet ki*s on his soft lips, gently awakening him.
“Lucinda?”
